Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NVR, Inc. (“NVR”, the “Company”, "we", "us" or "our") and its subsidiaries and certain other entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (see Notes 2 and 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise noted herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash related to a consolidated joint venture which is included in homebuilding "Other assets" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash related to this consolidated joint venture as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $293 and $320, respectively, and as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $335 and $1,069, respectively. Revenue Recognition Homebuilding revenue is recognized on the settlement date at the contract sales price, when control is transferred to our customers. Our contract liabilities, which consist of deposits received from customers (“Handmoney”) on homes not settled, were $142,937 and $138,246 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the December 31, 2018 Handmoney balance will be recognized in revenue in 2019. Our prepaid sales compensation totaled approximately $18,100 and $17,000, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in homebuilding “Other assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of our leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. We elected to adopt Topic 842 using the effective date transition method, which permits us to apply the new standard prospectively and present comparative years under legacy GAAP. In adoption of the standard, we also elected the following:
• | to apply the package of practical expedients during transition, under which we were not required to reassess as of the date of adoption (i) whether any of our contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classifications of our leases, and (iii) any initial direct costs related to those leases.
• | to exclude leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less from the recognition requirements under Topic 842.
• | to utilize the portfolio approach for certain office equipment leases, grouping leases by asset type which have similar lease terms and payment schedules.
Upon adoption, on January 1, 2019 we recorded a lease liability of $85,516 and a ROU asset of $79,345, which was recorded net of previously recognized straight-line operating lease adjustments on existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on our recognition of lease expense. See additional lease disclosures in Note 13.
